The following graphs are
pictorial representations of the answers received from teachers when asked
the following three questions:
 |
How often do you lose your
temper with your students? |

 |
How do you feel about being a
teacher? |

 |
Have you seriously considered quitting? |

Questionnaire data comparing
program and non-program teachers indicated that program teachers felt more
valued as professionals, felt less stress and pressure on the job, were
less likely to consider quitting teaching, and had a more positive
relationship with their students. Part of this higher morale and
greater commitment to teaching could be a function of lower levels of
discipline problems reported by teachers in the program schools.
